The Bill of Rightsizing
Ten Amendments to Restore Vigorous Federalism and Save America
By Mercy O’Warren
It’s not working anymore. Americans are divided and hateful politically, and our bloated, over-indebted government is ineffective and failing. We can’t agree on anything and our nation may even break apart over our differences.
That’s because we decide too many things in our federal government, which was intended to decide only national and international issues. States are supposed to govern individuals and groups, deciding issues that 350 million people will never agree on: education, welfare, regulations, criminal laws.
Worse, the original three branches of government have largely been replaced by a vast system of unelected federal bureaucrats. Our lawless, dangerous administrative state unconstitutionally censors and controls us through propaganda, selective prosecution, and interference in elections.
Our administrators have mismanaged our economy, devalued our money, ruined our health, kept us in perpetual wars, and piled up a massive national debt. The American people deserve so much better.
It’s possible Donald Trump & Co. Part II will reduce the worst excesses, but those will just be reinstated by the next “progressive” president. Trump & Co. cannot fix our structural problems, only the American people can do that.
We must return power to the people of the states, where it belongs. We can do this through a group of ten constitutional amendments: a much-needed “Bill of Rightsizing” to downsize our federal government.
By restoring vigorous federalism, we can revitalize our nation’s prosperity, happiness, and spiritual energy.
The Bill of Rightsizing can Save America.
Americans don’t need a national divorce,
we just need to insist on some personal space

Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814), was a pamphleteer and poet during and after the American Revolution. Leading up to the Revolution, she published poems and plays that criticized royal authorities and urged colonists to resist British trespasses on American rights and liberties.
During the debate over the United States Constitution in 1788, she published a pamphlet under the pseudonym “A Columbian Patriot”: Observations on the new Constitution, in which she farsightedly opposed ratification without the inclusion of a Bill of Rights.
Her other works were published under her own name, unusual for a woman of the time, and she later authored a three-volume history of the Revolution.
Mercy O’Warren is a pseudonym that honors this early American pseudonym-using political author.
